If you are planning a trip to Hayes Arboretum soon ...

I just checked on 4 boxes this afternoon. Two are in great condition and in their proper hiding spots. One is missing and one is probably beneath a very large, downed tree. I didn't have my hiking stick or gloves so I didn't dig around much. I will be checking back within one week and update the unknowns.

FYI - I mention a "cheat" to get back to the nature center parking lot using the gravel road (auto route). I wasn't able to take it this afternoon due to a large washout over the creek near the springhouse. So I returned to the designated path.

The staff here know about the boxes are are excited that they bring folks to the arboretum. I volunteer on Fridays and today I printed clues for the newest naturalist and she is excited to hunt for them. She asked about carving a stamp and I told her I would bring in supplies and help her get started. She hails from Gypsy Ladybug and Cookie Cutter's neck of the woods and I printed out additional clues. The seeds have been planted!

If you visit on a Friday, be sure to ask at the nature center if anyone can help with compass directions (hehehe).
